Do know already know a lot of English but people still can’t always understand you? Communicating clearly and confidently is important, but it’s even more necessary at a job interview or on the job. In this presentation you will learn (or relearn!) at least 10 tips that can help improve your speech for your work and in all areas of your life.

Background Checks: What? You don't believe me?  Time - One Hour                                     
Is your resume and job application accurate and truthful? It's not worth getting hired and then fired because you thought your resume needed some enhancing.  This presentation will show you what goes into a background check and what you should do to prepare yourself and your image to be its most accurate and flattering.

References:  Who to choose. Who to use.  Time - One Hour
You only get one chance to make a good first impression, and your references can help you do that. This is because aside from the background check, your references are the best source for a potential employer to obtain detailed information about you, and to confirm they are choosing the right person for the job.
